November 28, 1995

Consumers turn rosier: Consumers were more optimistic about current economic conditions this month than they were in October, according to a closely watched survey. The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index rose to 101.4 in November, a 5-point gain over October. Nearly 27 percent of consumers surveyed said present business conditions are good, up from less than 24 percent in October. Nearly 18 percent expect business conditions to improve over the next six months, up moderately for the month.
